Countdown to "Razin" Caine being fired

 This is an unverified story, but making the rounds...

US President Donald Trump was blocked access to his country's nuclear codes by a senior US military chief, according to bombshell reports.

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on popular YouTube show Judging Freedom that during an emergency meeting on Saturday, Trump tried to access the nuclear codes.

[...]

"One report coming out of that meeting at the White House is that Trump wanted to... use the nuclear codes and General Dan Caine stood up and said 'No'."

"He invoked his privileged as the head of the military, so to speak. It was apparently quite a blow-up... There's some very bizarre things going on in DC."

[...]

[I]t comes following reports that Donald Trump was barred from the Situation Room by military advisors during a critical Iran rescue operation.

The US President was reportedly shut out of discussions amid concerns about his furious temperament.

Top administration officials believed his volatility could compromise the operation.

If Caine gets fired, you'll know the story is true.

And, if you didn't think Trump was absolutely batshit crazy, check out this crazy shit:

And, speaking of firing military leaders...

First, it’s worth emphasizing that Phelan was a curious choice for Navy secretary in the first place. He never served in the Navy and had no connection to the Navy or the U.S. Armed Forces before the president tapped him for the role. The gig appears to have been a reward for being Trump’s pal who helped raise a lot of money for the Republican’s 2024 campaign.

[...]

As viewers of “The Rachel Maddow Show” might recall, Phelan was listed in Epstein’s flight logs and appeared to have traveled on at least two transatlantic flights with Epstein. These revelations reached the public two months ago, though Team Trump quickly shrugged them off.

[...]

A related report in The Wall Street Journal described what sounded like a classic behind-the-scenes power struggle, with the Pentagon chief having grown frustrated by Phelan’s “close relationship” with Donald Trump: “Phelan regularly chats with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club, just down the street from his own Florida home, and told lawmakers last year that he exchanges texts with the president about shipbuilding in the middle of the night.”

The same article, which has not been independently verified by MS NOW, added that Hegseth “worked to undermine Phelan” after he “pitched the idea for a modern battleship directly to Trump, bypassing Hegseth.”

[...]

Just three weeks before Phelan’s ouster, Hegseth also fired his Army chief of staff, Gen. Randy George, the Army’s top officer, even as the war in Iran raged on. MS NOW confirmed that two other Army generals were fired alongside George: Gen. David Hodne, the head of Army Transformation and Training Command, and Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the 26th chief of chaplains.

Those developments came on the heels of Hegseth forcing out Col. Dave Butler, who worked closely with George, which came after the defense secretary parted ways with three-star Lt. Gen. Joe McGee, which came just two weeks after the public learned about Adm. Alvin Holsey resigning as head of the U.S. Southern Command, reportedly at Hegseth’s request.

[...]

Just days before Holsey stepped down at Southern Command, the Pentagon chief fired Navy chief of staff Jon Harrison. (His ouster roughly coincided with two high-profile military retirements — Gen. Bryan Fenton, the head of U.S. Special Operations Command, and Gen. Thomas Bussiere, a top Air Force commander — though it’s unclear whether their departures had anything to do with Hegseth.)

There was no ambiguity, however, when in late August the defense secretary fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, who served as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Rear Adm. Milton Sands, a Navy SEAL officer who oversaw the Naval Special Warfare Command.

Four days earlier, Gen. David Allvin, the chief of staff of the Air Force, was also shown the door.

The broader purge also includes Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, who was both the head of U.S. Cyber Command and the director of the National Security Agency; Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Gen. James Slife, former vice chief of staff of the Air Force; Adm. Linda Fagan, the commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard; Adm. Lisa Franchetti; Lt. Gen. Jennifer Short; Lt. Gen. Joseph B. Berger III, the Army’s top military lawyer; Lt. Gen. Charles Plummer, the Air Force’s top military lawyer; and Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee.

Political scientist Caitlin Talmadge, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who specializes in foreign policy and military operations, recently noted via social media, “Firing senior officers for cause is one thing. Firing them repeatedly on this scale and with no explanation is unprecedented in our nation’s history.”
